Thanks for the article, Nicole! The myocarditis part freaked me out a little bc my dh exercises through anything and everything. I'm not worried that what I've got could be remotely serious.

I think it may be true (though I have no idea, really) that you cannot make a virus worse by exercising, but I do think if you exhaust yourself or even just use up a lot of energy on exercising, you're gonna have less reserves to fight the virus with. In my experience, resting and getting plenty of sleep while sick seems to make illnesses resolve sooner. It makes sense to me that exercise would do the opposite.
